RHYMES FOR BORROWERS.

Curious Means of Claiming Ownership
I'm Books.
Some people have a strange way
of desig atng their ownership OF books.
OF course you remember, when a
schoolboy, what ridiculous doggerel
some OF the scholars wrote In theirs.
As for example;
"This book Is John Smiths,
My fist is another;
You touch one
And you'll feel the other"
And again:
90 Steal not this book, my honest friend,
For fear the gallows'n be thy end"
Once more:
Steal not this book, for fear Of shame.
For here you see the owners name:
And when you die the Lord will say:
Where is that book you stole away?'
And il you say you do not know,
He then will cast you down below"
A great many grown-up children
have adopted the custom in a graver
mood.
The two verses commonly used are:
eff thou art borrowed by friend,
Right welcome shall he be,
To read, to study, not to lend,
But to return to me-"
And this:
NOC LndC impaired kuOWl6OS0 uOGQ
Diminish Earnings store;
But books, I find. if often lent,
Return to me no more"
There is one found in book formerly
belonging to a well-known resident of
New York:
"Any one may borrow. but gentle
man returns"
David w. Jayne's books have the fol-
lowing Scr'ptural quotation:
&c Gro thou rather to them that sell,
and bly, or yourselves"
The following rather severe line were
used bya Massachusetts man:
Stern power of Justice, lift thy wand
In spite of mercy's look;
Strike him who with presumptuous
hand
PurlonS this valued book"
Aaron Putnam, who flourished in Med
ford, Mass, abOLt one hundred years
ago, used these lines:
" The wicked borrow, but do not re-
turn again. See thou art not one of that
number"
Duncan c. Pell, of New York, had
this rather churlish motto, not at all in
keeping with his character:
He does not lend his books"
". J. Smelling, one of the early editors
of the Boston Herald, had these in
structionS
60 Do not turn down the leaves to mark
the place, but put il a slip of paper. Do
not give the book to children for play
thing. Handle not with dirty hands.
Return the book when you have read it.

ACHILD'S SKIN
Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze-

Cured by cUticUta.

Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze-
matous Scabs and Sores
Cured by cuticuta.
MY little son, aged eight years, has been af-
III hicted with Eczema of the scalp, and at
times great portion of the body, ever since he
extended to his scalp, which became covered
with scabs and sores, and from which sticky
fluid poured out, causing intense itching and
distress, and leaving his hair matted and life
less. Underneath these scabs the skin was raw
like piece of beefsteak. Gradually the hair
came out and was destroyed, until but small
patch was left at the back of the head. My
friends in Peabody know how my little boy
has suffered. At night he would scratch his
head until his pillow was covered with blood.
I used to tie his hands behind him and in
many ways tried to prevent his scratching; but
it was no use, he would scratch. l took him
to the hospital and to the best physicians in
Peabody without success. About this time,
ICURA REMEDIES, prevailed upon me to try
them. began to use them on the 18th of
January last. In seven months every particle
of the disease was removed. Not spor or scab
remains his scalp to tell the story of his suf-
fering. His hair has returned, and is thick
and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean as
any childs in the world. 1cannot say enough
to express my gratitude for this wonderful cure
by the CuTICuRA REMEDIES, and wish all SINH

THE LIGHT OF LOVE

Fair Is the flush of tie summer dawn,
When the gate of pearl uncloses
As IL glimmers along the dewy lawn
Aud shimmers amid the roses,
As IL wakes the little drops Of dew
TO quiyegiugs of delight
And threads the aisles ~ the forest through
On the trail Of the flying night.
Soft is the CLEAN OF the summer stars
When the feyerish day is over,
When the fays are ahost In silvery cars,
And the dusky moth is rover,
When over the couch Of the dreaming flowers
The mists Of the fountain creep,
And the lsnguid ears OF the drowsy hours
Are wooed by song OF the deep.
But the dazzling hues Of the morning fail,
And dull are its golden lances,
Aud all the light Of the stars grows pale
Ia nv Darling's tender glsnces;
For the stars may burn with a thousand dyes,
And a myriad sunbeams fall,
But the light Of love in woman's eyes
Is the purest light OF all.

is scientific thief. A shepherd dog,
chained to kennel in the yard, is one

sees the dog gnawing bone he sneaks
up behind him and grabs him by the
tail; the sudden attack causes the dog
to quickly wheel about to find out
what's there, but the crow holds on,
and goes around with the tail to where
the coveted bone is. snatches it up. and
in an instant is out OF the reach of the
